Conservative Women 3 Times Happier Than Liberal Peers for These Reasons
February 20, 2025
Young conservative women are three times as likely to report having a happy life than liberal women—and the key factors driving the happiness gap are faith and family, a new study has found. Attending church together is twice as important to marital happiness than regular date nights, the same researchers conclude.
In all, 37% of conservative women say they are “completely satisfied” with their life, compared to 12% of liberal women and 28% of moderates, according to data that researchers Brad Wilcox and Grant Bailey of the Institute for Family Studies drew from the 2024 American Family Survey.
